Having missed V29JKV on July 1st due to a family BBQ, I was pleased to hear the band being in good shape on July 2nd.
In the early evening I made a more solid QSO with TZ6EI at 17.18utc than the QSO on June 29.
Later that evening it opened up to the Caribbean and the sigs from Antigua where Jimmy, W6JKV, has set up his yearly DXpedition, became audible. The opening was quite wide-spread so the pile-up was kind of chaotic. Many people were banging in their callsigns whereas Jimmy was clearly calling somebody else.
My first QSO with V29JKV was on 18.17utc. Listen for yourself to this recording from my end, and to this recorded by Jaap, PA0O.
Fortunately Jimmy became much stronger a bit later, so I made a second, solid QSO at 18.38utc (I had not Jaap’s recording at my disposal at that time). Although Jimmy initially copied me as PF5K, he quickly corrected that to PF5X as you can hear on this recording. The same QSO was recorded by Peter, PA2V. Listen here.
